About the event
An Australian native who moved to the US and began impressing audiences, opening for the likes of Peter Frampton, Heart, and Buddy Guy, Kara Grainger’s unique story certainly explains her unique sound. Her captivating slide guitar mastery, impeccable songwriting, and sultry vocals consistently evokes comparisons to legendary artists like Bonnie Raitt and Susan Tedeschi.
And like Raitt, Grainger knows how to get inside a song's lyric, placing her own indelible stamp on classics such as Robert Johnson’s “Come On In My Kitchen” and the Allman Brothers “Whipping Post”.
With a voice that oozes emotion, and guitar skills that at one moment whips up a storm, and at another, exhibits a delicate feminine sensitivity, Kara’s music resonates with a broad demographic, both young and old, and reaches across a number of genres, including Blues, Americana, and Rock.
